Feeling excited ....
21st
July 2020 (Tuesday) 07.30 .... Yesssss .... I should get to
Balcarres
today; it’s a ‘bright and breezy’ morning and perfect
for pottering about. I have an early
appointment with Laurie (Nurse) then a morning coffee on the way home before taking
the road to Colinsburgh.

Last
night I felt ‘adventuresome’ ordered a
pair of shoes online; a mix of local and
online shopping is going to be the way now.
Clark’s main outlet and HQ is at
Street (Somerset) near Glastonbury is a ‘magic’ sort of place ..... and the
shoes are £5 cheaper than when I bought them the last time. I remember getting separated from Janice in
Street .... yep ... those were the ‘good old days’. Must go... ‘slight flap on’ ... I’d better have breakfast
before getting myself organised. Routine blood tests taking place after a few months lapse is a sign that things are getting back to 'normal'.

15.30 I set off to have ‘morning coffee’ with
the troops at ‘arbour ‘ouse but never went further than the ‘Old Dairy’ ....
the street was too busy for this au ... young person to venture through
so I about turned and went straight up to Balcarres. (Myra phoned to say the ‘arbour ‘ouse isn’t
open on Tuesdays so they went to Geoff’s.
By that time I was well on my way to Balcarres) Oh .... I did enjoy myself and eventually ended
up at the Lathallan Mill filter beds for water draining out of the old mine
workings. I am now ready to do a couple
of Soduko’s in ‘The Hutte’. I may fall
asleep!
17.30 I eventually fell asleep but only for
20 minutes or so having done two Soduko's .... and a wee bit of a third. Now I’m hungry: food ... Shepherd’s Pie should be ready in
10 minutes ... and I’m well ready for it.
19.00 I’ve really enjoyed myself today.... now I
am wondering if I could go for
Kilbrackmont the next time I go onto
Balcarres: I haven’t been at the ‘big
tree’ for a while. Tomorrow is going to
be a ‘rest day’ doing things around Ivy;
including computer ‘stuff’. I’ve
just remembered that I need to put some air in the bike tyres; I’ll put the kettle on, pump up the tyres
then have a cuppa.
